Yamaha FGX820C Traditional Western Body Solid Spruce Top Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Natural

Introducing the Yamaha FGX820C Traditional Western Body Solid Spruce Top Acoustic/Electric Guitar
Derived from the FG820 model, which features a solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides, the FGX820C comes with a cutaway body and an electric system. It is equipped with a Yamaha under-saddle piezo pickup and System66 analog preamp for a reliable plugged-in performance.

Beginning of an Era
The FG, introduced in 1966, showcased that an exceptional acoustic guitar doesn't have to break the bank. With a focus on playability, musical tone, and top-notch craftsmanship, the original FG180 became a timeless classic. Now, 50 years since the debut of FG Acoustics, its tone has only improved. No matter where you are in your musical journey, it all begins here!

Innovative Bracing
Thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by Yamaha's R&D Division, the FG/FGX Series delivers a louder and more robust sound in the low-to-mid ranges. Yamaha engineers utilized analysis and simulation to create the best bracing design, resulting in the scalloped bracing pattern, a durable yet sonically rich acoustic structure.

A Legacy of 50 Years
The Yamaha FG Series made its mark in 1966 with the launch of the FG180 and FG150. Since then, Yamaha has crafted numerous generations of FG guitars, establishing FG as the go-to choice for modern players.

Variety at Your Fingertips
Choose from two body shapes, including the concert-size FS; five grades with various tonewood options; a range of color choices; and acoustic or acoustic-electric models. Whatever your playing style, there's an FG model that suits your needs.
